The Auggies, however, responded with a pair of runs in the fourth to tie things up and went up for good with four fifth-inning runs.

Augsburg jumped out quickly with five runs in the top of the first inning of game two and went on for another 10-2 victory. Macalester scored its two runs in the third on a two-run single by Barriga. Ali Nystrom (Jr., Minnetonka, Minn.) went 2-for-3 for her eighth multi-hit game of the season and scored a run.
